My wife and I had a great time at Indy and at the party. I want to thank Rob for pulling it all together. The Eatery was a mad house but we managed a pretty good gathering and it was good to put faces to the writings. | ||

Pretty cool Grant stopped by the FerrariChat.com dinner, he's already a little bit of a celebrity and will probably be a big one someday. Here's an article on Grant and others in the Red Bull selection... http://www.skipbarber.com/news/article.asp?AID=1086 | ||

Grant Maiman was at Indy as he was one of the 15 chosen by Red Bull to go to France for testing and hopefully be the next US F1 driver in 2004. He was with our group at the restaurant. Sorry I didn't introduce him to you. Daren | ||

Daren, I didn't catch everyone's name from your crew. Let me know the names of any that are users besides you and Chris. Also, I never got a chance to ask if Grant was in Indy. I guess you guys were hanging with his dad and friend. Also #2, Greg and I met two "attractive" ladies Sunday night at the hotel who claimed they got Michael's autograph at the Hard Rock Cafe, wondered if it was just you or the real deal. | ||

Getting a group of people together in one spot is harder than pushing rope in a straight line - but Rob managed it. Putting faces to some of the names is a good thing. Thanks Rob. | ||

Did any of you guys buy the Ferrari steering wheel across the street at the vendor booth? It was only $8000. Two stores down had a Williams for $4000 from 2001. | ||

Nice pics, definitely had a great time... hopefully we can meet up again next year. I will try to get some pictures up when I get mine developed, I think I took about 5 rolls or so- although I am a terrible photographer, hopefully 1 or 2 came out alright. I especially hope I got a good one of Takuma Sato's engine blow up in practice on saturday morning, that was really cool to see, I missed the fire (saw it though, very awesome) but didn't get a picture of that part. Thanks a lot for the shirt too, hope to meet everyone again soon! | ||

Hello all, sorry I couldn't do updates in Indy, but I never got my connection to work. It was overall a great great time. Perfect in fact. I don't have time to tell all now, but here's a few of the pics... The FerrariChat.com get together Saturday night at Union Jacks was great. I appreciate the opportunity to meet users in person. I think we had a total of 15 or so eating and then about 7-8 from the KC crew stopped by to say hi. Please don't fire me for getting it wrong, but here's a list of users at the event (Rick Catalano, Warren Dodge, Rikky Alessi, Greg Scott, Drew Altemara, Edward Gault, Alberto, Chris Parr, Daren Adkins, and Chris Hill). Let me know if this info isn't correct, I would like to keep record of the event. The pic didn't capture everyone and it was a little crowded, but here's the best we could do...  Rob and Greg in front of Indy...  Ferrari pits...  Ferrari braking into turn 1. I think the best view on the track...  Ferrari out of turn 11 leading onto the oval. Another great place for viewing...  Historic Ferrari F1's...    Challenge cars turn 11...  250 LM at Indy Museum...  F1 start...  Ferrari on straight...  Masserati Challenge car...  |
